motel Mi Pi CHi is a quirky and refreshing take on hospitality. Our motel is the perfect hideaway for contemporary, vibrant and urban nomads with a taste for easy living and original style.
The motel is the lovechild of Nicky Rofail, whose humour and poppy inventiveness gives the place its character and charm. The personalities all our wonderful staff members, will uplift yours the moment you walk through the doors.
Boasting easy drive-in, drive-out accessibility, it's an unexpected oasis on the other side of a rough, high brick wall on Melville's vibey Fourth Avenue.
